*The View Attacks Guest*
Radio talk show host Laura Ingraham received a hostile reaction last week from the crew on ABC's daytime show, The View, to the premise of her new book, Shut Up and Sing: How Elites from Hollywood, Politics, and the UN are Subverting America. When Ingraham argued "that the Democratic Party is not connecting with the people who are its logical constituents, from the South and from the Heartland," Barbara Walters shot back: "Excuse me, neither is the Republican Party, at this point, necessarily connecting." Joy Behar became upset by Ingraham making fun of Hollywood liberals: "Why do you have to make these generalizations about liberals?" Behar came to the defense of Barbra Streisand: "Why are you against Barbra Streisand? She's a very, very patriotic."
